Senior Backend Engineer (Backend Platform Team)

Wer wir sind

Frontify is the brand platform behind some of the world's leading organizations, including Microsoft, Telefónica, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, and Kia. We help every team bring brands to life — with governance in one place, seamless workflows across the tools people already use, and a foundation that's ready for AI. We're driven by collaboration, curiosity, and the belief that great work can happen anywhere. What began in St. Gallen has grown to London, New York, and beyond. Wherever you join us, you'll take ownership from day one, shape work that reaches global brands, and help redefine how brands work in the age of AI.

What you'll do

Design, build, and maintain reusable backend libraries, SDKs, APIs, and shared services that support product teams across Frontify. Drive platform improvements that simplify development, reduce complexity, and give product teams greater autonomy. Improve the developer experience through clear abstractions, documentation, tooling, and self-service solutions. Strengthen CI/CD workflows, automated testing, build processes, and release practices to help teams deliver software with confidence. Ensure platform capabilities are reliable, secure, performant, and easy to maintain. Collaborate closely with product teams to understand recurring challenges and develop scalable solutions that benefit multiple teams. Partner with infrastructure teams, applying your understanding of containers and Kubernetes without owning the underlying infrastructure. Take ownership of technical initiatives, contribute to architectural decisions, and help shape the evolution of our backend platform. Share your knowledge and mentor fellow engineers, helping raise engineering standards across teams. Work remotely from anywhere in Switzerland, with the flexibility to spend time in our St. Gallen office whenever you like.

What you bring

Strong experience in backend web application development using PHP, Java, Python, Go, or similar languages, and a willingness to use PHP as your primary language. Hands-on experience building reusable libraries, SDKs, APIs, frameworks, or internal developer tools. A solid understanding of software architecture, API design, automated testing, and backward compatibility, including GraphQL and REST. Familiarity with CI/CD practices, build automation, dependency management, and release processes. Working knowledge of containers and Kubernetes. A mindset that looks beyond individual features, with an interest in building scalable solutions that make life easier for engineering teams. Confidence working autonomously, taking ownership of complex technical challenges, and making pragmatic architectural decisions. A collaborative approach, with an enjoyment of sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and continuously improving engineering practices.
